Thank you again for visiting the BL Rag. This is Hello, Goodbye:

This song is also my pick of the day:

They became world famous with tunes like Weird Science, but we are going to skip their bigger hits today and listen instead to three of their lesser-known musical numbers, starting up the morning with this little gem, titled Cinderella Undercover:

It is also my pick of the day. The song is titled Cruel:

She is also very quirky. In this video, she masquerades as a sort of Angel of Death on a dirt road, meeting those about to depart the living realm. The song is titled Marrow:

Whenever the Yankees had a lead and he was called in, the opponents bats went to sleep. Our final entry of the day is from Metallica.. Enter Sandman. Have a great weekend everyone! Go USA...beat Portugal.

Time for the closer. What song doesn't get the crowd revved up like Hells Bells. Here's AC\DC.
